Thinking of forgo more than RM100k annual income in Malaysia and go new zealand do 6 months working holiday.
Later 5am application start. IF apply successful regret don't want go how??
Will NZ perma ban me from stepping into their country

Worth it or not??? Looks like a stupid move to my parents and cousin. Now I also think a bit stupid.
U bodoh ke. Go NZ also cannot earn as much as in Malaysia. Better u take money go there travel.

My cousin last time before go say want extend till 9 months.
But after go back after 4 months say cannot tahan de work there.

Any advice?

You earn 100k plus take take 2 weeks leave travel to New Zealand and come back. Wtf man. Man up and accept that your life is not just YOLO and there are much more than that. I wouldn’t let my daughter marries man that have this kinda mentality.

Did you manage to go? Recently I’ve been thinking to go. Although I don’t earn as much as ts but I feel like I would want to experience this. It’s a once in a lifetime experience. Hahah only problem is I don’t have friends that wanna go. So hit me up if anybody interested maybe we could be travel friends

If you're in it for the money, advice here so far on point.

If you're in it for the experience, ignore this thread. Go experience what its like to live in another country. Remember to have some time to explore instead of work work work.
Meet and befriend others, especially locals. It will offer you a different perspective due to different lifestyle and culture. Living there and interacting with locals for a few months isn't the same as few weeks holiday.

Knew some who did stuff like 5 months work + 1 month road trip. Or 9 months + 3 month road trips/experiencing NZ.

Go apply, you will meet like-minded people there and figure out how to eventually stay permanent there or migrate to Australia. True story.
